    @moatxsx They’ve made it so that CoD, Diablo, overwatch and so on can never be exclusive. Beyond that they’ve made sure that Sony can’t buy up ip and then make it exclusive without massive outcry. They’ve also forced Sony into a sub service. All positives for MS even if the deal fails.

    @sailorsctaustin Once camera controls became more stable it got easier. So the new pokemon is no problem. Overwatch was usually fine when I turned down camera sensitivity. New pokemon Snap was a no go.

    Overwatch 2 have an infinite queue time bug. To fix it on PC just go to the launcher and press the gear and choose scan and repair. #overwatch #overwatch2

  • DivinitySweats 𝔻𝕚𝕧𝕚𝕟𝕚𝕥𝕪 (CAMO KING)🦑🏳️‍🌈 (@DivinitySweats) reported

    It’s been almost 3 weeks of not being able to play anything due to constant game crashes on cod and then Overwatch, but the homie @FPS_Reese came through to fix it all up. Appreciate you goat <3

  • Azaleane_ AWKN | Azaleane (@Azaleane_) reported

    @EskayOW I wouldn't say that's specifically an Overwatch issue. Sadly that happens in most multiplayer games these days. But hey, in 20-30 years those people could be running our countries 🙃

  • GamingEnder98 GamingEnder98 (@GamingEnder98) reported

    So Dillan is having issues with Monster Hunter Rise loading to have to stop streaming, Might move to Overwatch 2 but we'll see. Sorry everyone

  • brokenthrone_ paldean brooklyn boy (@brokenthrone_) reported

    @BlizzardCS Overwatch 2 keeps disconnecting me from matches, randomly, sometimes it takes around 30 secs to reconnect on its own to the match (no login screen) and sometimes it takes me permanently out of the match (which got me penalized).

  • Akirasthreat Akira (@Akirasthreat) reported

    Overwatch 2 infinite queue bug fix. Close off of overwatch > click on the little gear next to Play on the launcher > Scan and Repair > relaunch game. Queue time less than 1min. Might be different for everyone <3 #Overwatch2

  • AdicusDeath Adicus (@AdicusDeath) reported

    @KnightlyIRL ive seen so many people having issues playing Hogwarts Legacy, but have no issues with Diablo 4, Overwatch 2, Call of Duty, WoW. Its a bit hypocritical and makes no sense to me.

  • TheJackArcher #BROKEN נαcк αяcнεя (@TheJackArcher) reported

    @BlizzardCS Been getting error LC-202 on Overwatch 2 for PS5 for the past 3 days. This is the only game I'm having an issue with, as every other online game is working perfectly. Already re-installed, didn't fix it.

  • xylotox_ ☹︎ (@xylotox_) reported

    New overwatch players need to suck it up. Most of the things being complained about, have been in the game since overwatch 1. It’s legit just a skill issue

  • TrxningArc Arc (@TrxningArc) reported

    OW2 aint even a sequel, its just Overwatch 1 filled with bad micro transactions, mediocre balancing, cash grabs, and the broken promise of what Overwatch 2 really should've been.

  • nyaminoo liliaaaa (kotoka + meloco fans united) (@nyaminoo) reported

  • AnimeNoel AnimeNoel (Tomoyo Sakagami VTuber) (@AnimeNoel) reported

    @NepsKnight thats my main issue they be putting in overwatch 2 type price for one outfit just like them

  • Rocker_Fox 🔥 Rocker Fox 🔥 (@Rocker_Fox) reported

    @circleoflust I think it’s the same issue with Overwatch. The problem is that it’s all world building and what’s reflected in game has no real bearing on anything else. The world might be interesting but what you chose to allow people to interact with is like a swimming pool of cement.

  • Midnight_Midna Midnight Midna model reveal pinned📌 🌑🥀 (@Midnight_Midna) reported

    @TheAncientArk I think it’s cross play I’m really new if I can fix overwatch I’d like to do that too I have a lot of people in the discord who only play on PlayStation so I understand

  • RUSS4THEWIN SGA⚡️ (@RUSS4THEWIN) reported

    Overwatch 2 should have done something to fix the healers rather than worry about removing a tank 🥴

  • Hey_itsjustMads mads 🫠 (@Hey_itsjustMads) reported
